MU "Mu" SEALED RTV 1st Pressing LP Merrell Fankhauser PSYCH Capt. Beefheart MINT

SEE OUR OTHER RARE RECORDS & MEMORABILIA

Here is something you never see--a SEALED US first pressing of the self titled album by MU, released in 1971 on RTV Records. This private press psychedelic classic features Merrell Fankhauser and Jeff Cotton aka Antennae Jimmy Semens of Captain Beefheart's Magic Band. This is the earliest pressing with the foil back cover and on the RTV label. The shrink wrap is virtually fully intact, there is a punch out hole in the top right corner, and the cover is just beautiful with the most minor crease to the foil from the manufacturing process (just above the Side Two credits on the back cover.) Easily the best copy we've seen in 40 years. A great great album with a Beefheartian sounds.


In spectacular condition with tight square corners, and virtually fully intact shrink wrap. Two tiny tiny edge rubs on the right corners. Superb.

We welcome International buyers and ship around the world every week.

US & Canada Shipping: $9 for 1-2 LP's by insured Priority Mail (Ebay’s recent rule change requires us to offer Media Mail shipping for records, at $4.00 for 1 LP. As this is a very slow method of shipping and uninsured, we cannot guarantee safe delivery by this method and strongly recommend paying extra for the much quicker and safer Priority Mail.) $15 for 1-2 posters, shipped priority mail in a new mailer/tube & US orders are automatically insured for up to $200 in value. Calif. buyers add 8.75% sales tax (calculated automatically by Paypal.) All other items shipped at cost.

International Shipping: $16 for 1 LP airmail without insurance. $4 for each additional LP; $21 for 1-2 posters. All other items shipped at cost. Because of problems with the Italian Post Office, we highly recommend either insured or registered mail for all Italian orders and cannot be responsible for any order shipped to Italy without one or the other of these.
